Pi tft #5

Hey, The button functions do great, but the backlight one doesn't seem to work. How can this thing come ? Nothing happened to my PiTFT when I tried to use merely the function, even without joining it to the button effects. Someone to help me around, to switch off/on the backlight ? Thank you

Can you get the backlight to work if you follow the instructions on the Adafruit website?

elParaguayo commented 10 years ago

I've just tested the code again on my Pi and it does work exactly as it should. e.g. if I do:

import pitftgpio
pi = pitftgpio.PiTFT_GPIO()
pi.Backlight(False)

the light turns off. So I can't reproduce your issue unless you provide some more information.

Hello,

I'm sorry, I have no excuse, I don't know why, it works perfectly now. I spent hours yesterday, but today, just 2 minutes were enough. Thank you and once again, sorry, this is some great piece of work !

No problem. Delighted to hear that it works for you.
